''Fraud investigators replicated an online banking scheme that involved using old Nokia 1100 mobile phones. Using software created by hackers, some of the phones can be reprogrammed to receive another person's phone number and text messages. Some banks send one-time passwords that are needed to complete Internet banking transactions. A compromised phone gives bad guys access to this sensitive information. This hack also requires a person's online banking log-in information, but security researchers claim key-logging programs can easily garner these details. Unsurprisingly, criminals were willing to pay exorbitant amounts, such as US$7,567, for a used 1100 phone.''

@flyche. GIMP!! wat settings did u use?

it's not really resizing, i just reduce the resolution with GIMP. i save my screenshots to desktop.
Right click the saved file, and click open with GIMP image editor. click the file tab and select save as. from here you can choose the file extension type you want e.g JPEG , PNG, GIF etc. a dialogue box will open, choose export. another save as dialogue box will open, here check the box that says show preview in image window, now drag the cursor on the box to select the image quality. then click save when done.

3 isnt that fast is it?and I've used starcomms and mtn while in Nigeria and I can assure you it took decades to check ordinary yahoo mail. had to switch back to yahoo classic so I could check my e-mail before the century ends.

how many years ago was that?
abeg edit your post. that's not correct. i use starcomms evdo. i tell you is just more than enough.

starcomms is the best.!! my download rate on average is 70kB/s.

the easiest way to install .rpm software packages in ubuntu/ linuxmint is to install[i] alien[/i] from the the synaptic. i finally did find that i can now install the OOo 3.1 package i downloaded.

@all. get a mac or a linux pc, and bid farewell to viruses!

@blackweaver. the openOffice. org that came pre-installed in linuxmint felicia is version 2.4. i need to update to ver 3.1. to me this is the most important app in linux. i do alot of work using excel(calc) and powerpoint(impress). you can call me  a power user of officesuite.
i use starcomms evdo data card(sierra aircard 580). the thing just  worked right out of the box.!

@bigrovar. i am running the code in terminal now.
thanks mahn! upgraded!

@all. fast internet is not a dream in nigeria. get starcomms izap! the most pocket-friendly package offerings. that company loves nigeria.

@bigrovar.linuxmint  does not have SOFTWARE SOURcES under admin., no simple way to uninstall apps not needed. about the openoffice. org 3.1, i have already downloaded the package, just can't get it installed yet.
@esquire. i still like the awn just can't get network manager applet on the dock.

@bigrovar. i want to install openoffice 3.1.(i renamed the file o3.tar.gz) i have downloaded the .tar.gz software package to my desktop. i tried unzipping using the command tar xvzf o3.tar.gz as a first step in installation but i get this error message. pls help. i use linuxmint felicia

NCC deliberately killed NITEL. That's why we are in this mess.

@lynx. Na true o! Na hayprof alone de swallow 90% of Starcomms bandwidth.

i missed this thread.

@lynx. you de vex for starcomms? i will still continue to manage. i spend a lot time on the internet at home. in my hood, starcomms is your best bet. mtn 3G though very unreliable can daze you with speed sometimes, has very poor or no coverage in my house. so men i am sticking with starcomms.

Pls screenshots!

i have posted this before in the computer section, this MTN 3.5G download speed i got. 300kB/s ~ 2.4Mb/s. if you can bit that let us know.

@hayprof, thats why i said we need screenshots in here, not talk!

@poster it may be, that Zain hate all your family brother sister and any friend that is associated with you.

may be they have a Virus in their pocket that is affecting zain sim

guys, stop quoting figures. let the screenshots do the talking!

linux mint is more polished. you still enjoy same support as ubuntu. am waiting  for the 7th edition.

mtn is not ready for 3G yet. if they think the kind of erratic service we get now is 3G, then they are plain stupid. useless service. why can't they just tell us they are still testing the service? abeg where is my starcomms sierra data card.?

anyway i prefer it to ubuntu.
